Review:
'I love YA fiction, and I am happy to find more of it to add to my Steampunk Book list... I loved accompanying Ben on his journey across the sea and into the wide world that words and books can open a mind to.' --For Whom the Gear Turns
'...a compelling read. Ben's isolation throughout the narrative is relatable and emotive, and when he meets a kindred spirit in Rosalie, it is uplifting. The cryptic nature of Ben's background regarding his father, and to some extent his mother, and then the unexpected reappearance of his absent father in the closing chapter of the book is intriguing.' --Starburst Magazine
'A classic tale of adventure and derring-do, wrapped in an accessible travelling cloak to suit the modern young reader.' --Bookshelf Gargoyle
'The Monster Hunter is nicely original, with some very unique ideas and I loved the weird and creepy creatures. Kids 13+ with wild imaginations will love it, and Cox does a good job of capturing the more real problems of childhood that readers can relate to and combining them with the fantastical elements of the storyline.' --Bookie Monster
